;;; Commentary:
;;; Code:
-(message "Using load-path %s" load-path)
-(load "paths.el")
-(load "site-init" t)
+;; These are no longer needed because we run this in emacs instead of temacs.
+;; (message "Using load-path %s" load-path)
+;; (load "paths.el")
+;; It is not safe to load site-init.el here, because it might have things in it
+;; that won't load properly unless all the rest of Emacs is loaded.
